Fear

Ch.11

I slowly climbed down the rope slipping a few times but managing to not fall. I finally hopped down and quietly started walking towards the street. As I passed my house I heard a guy yelling.

"Hey Tom isn't that your cousin?!" My head snapped to the window to find Tom and his friends rushing to the front door. My eyes went wide in panic as they all rushed out trying to catch me. I started running as fast as I could not wanting to look back. Their yelling started fading away as I ran into the hidden park behind my street. I started walking once I got into the forest, trying to catch my breath. Luckily I lost them. I don't think they'll find me, hardly anyone knows of this place. As I started walking towards a big old tree in the middle of the forest, I heard leaves crunching behind me. I stopped dead on my tracks turning around, looking for someone. Probably it was just a rabbit or something. As I turned around, I came face to face with the guy who was trying to hurt me back home. My heart started racing and my hands started shaking.

"Miss me?"

"Who would ever miss you?"

"Trying to be brave I see. Too bad you really aren't"

"How would you know that?"

"Oh please, I could easily break you like a stick!" He slowly started walking towards me, dropping his jacket on the ground.

"Dont get near me or else-"

"Or else what? No one is here to save you. No one ever cared about you. Not even your own mom. I bet your dad left because he was tired of you. No one likes you Maria. Everyone hates you!"

"Not me"
